UK Comp Sci Professor Elected Fellow of AAAI

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Aug. 14, 2013) — University of Kentucky computer science Professor Miroslaw Truszczynski was one of eight individuals recently recognized as a Fellow in the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI).

The AAAI honors a select group of renown artificial intelligence (AI) scientists each year for their outstanding contributions to the theory or practice of AI by electing them AAAI Fellows, which is a lifetime honor.

Fellows are chosen for their intellectual leadership and significant research or service contributions to the field, usually over a period of at least a decade or more. An official dinner and ceremony was held in their honor during this summer’s 2013 AAAI Conference in Bellevue, Wash.

“Election to AAAI Fellow is an honor I value a lot as it comes from the most influential professional organization promoting AI," Truszczynski said. "It gives me a great deal of satisfaction to know that my research contributions were deemed worthy of this kind of recognition by the AI community.”
